The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the award on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations received monetary aid in upgrading facilities and gear that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
In they earned the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her award among multiple organizations, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
